They're all the so-called leaders, all the
more they should lead by example, that's y they should give more.
Is giving 5% of their annual salary to the needy too much, I
absolutely dun think so. It's always like this, for many years
already, these people like to talk the talk but not walk the walk.
Are their pockets filled to the brim with money that they cannot
walk the walk??? Bloody hell!!!

That's what those accountants with creative accounting skills
are for.. the super rich just haveta pay a small fee for a fancy
report (to escape larger fees), then sit back n let those expert
accountants work their magic..

In my unit, our CO once aruptly asked everyone to contribute $20
each for a charity (some army thing), compulsory. Regulars and NSFs
alike.

He did not consider if the NSFs can afford it or not, to him, it
was doing a great deed for helping the poor and needy. Of course
the level of unhappiness was so great amongst the men that it
became on a volunteer basis, but of course by then no one wanted to
donate... (later, insider news has it that the COs were actually
seeing who can raise the most donations.)

If the SM wants everyone to do it, they must first show everyone
they are taking the lead.

Do tell. I used to work at a place where we had to pay for our
own food and transport. Essentially stayout. Monthly costs just to
go to work tops off 100 over bucks a month. Yet, we are asked to
pay for that silly AHM when the % of our pay we have to deduct is
far more than the NS officers etc. If by anything, The army is
insanely the pinnacle of all things that can be possibly bad with
the govt.

Makes you wonder how they chose the officers... these are the
people leading the men when our Nation is at war. But we can only
complain because they got starfish and crabs...
